My SO worked overnights in an ER. Someone came in with a tight ankle monitoring cuff, which apparently has titanium cables inside, and their foot wound up swelling up because of an accident that damaged the cuff. He was hours from losing his foot entirely, they had to operate but the cuff was in the way. They managed to wake up someone at the manufacturer at 1am, who then located a jeweler back in our city with saws that could cut it, and emailed over diagrams showing exactly where to cut. The fire department, indeed, came and went unable to do anything because it was too close to the skin to use any of their grinders.

Seems a lot easier and safer anyway!

Yeah this was where my brain travelled logically. Pretty easy to just drain the blood. Worst case scenario they don't put you under, but doubt that's the least of your concerns in this scenario.

Do they put it back in after?

Here friend.

Here's another one that might help you out:

Warning ⚠️ ⚠️⚠️: fucking disturbing, full dead dove situation here.

Back in the wild west days of the internets, a friend of mine discovered a forum for sounding. He decided he wanted to try it, and read some of the threads on the forum. What he neglected to do was to read any of the threads about beginners and safety. He just read a few things about what people were into, and then hopped directly online and ordered some stuff. remember, wild west of the internet era here. So, fast forward a while and he gets the packages delivered. He goes to his bedroom and he tries it out.

He decided to start with a very small/thin rod, as he assumed that was best. What he got was a hard metal rod with no rounded tip and a little control box for electrical stimulation. He does what he does, and then turns on the electrics. At first, he's enjoying it. Then he cranks that bitch up to 11, because he's a teenaged idiot. He immediately spasms, jerking forward, and the sounding rod pokes/pierces him inside. He says it pierces his prostate, but when I googled it it seems more likely it was his urethral wall. Either way. He is now punctured, being zapped on his insides, naked, with an erection, and has fallen onto his bedroom floor. He is obviously making quite a bit of noise.

His mother bursts in the room in a panic, and sees her son laying on the floor, with an erection, and wires coming out of his dick, in obvious pain. This is the part of the story I should probably mention that his mom is one of those Uber Christian black church ladies. You know the easter hat church ladies? That's a normal Sunday for her. Every week, twice a week, she is at church in her finest finery.

But, in the moment, she's in mom mode, and only wants to help her baby. So she grabs hold of the wires that are attacking her child's innards, and forcibly yoinks them out of her son.

At which point he ejaculates. In front of his mother. And then drives him to the hospital.

I only found out about this story 10 years or so after it happened, many, many after we had moved away from each other. I've had dinner with his mom. I've slept over at their house, and he at mine. I cannot imagine the all out lecture he got once she found out he wasn't going to die. OMG

It is possible to have enough brains to know not to do this, even with sexual desires

I will say that this is not a typical expression of sexuality. I have never once thought that I needed to put a cock ring on, let alone one made of motherfucking titanium.

If you were actually asexual I doubt you'd be moaning.

If you're looking for more justification, then you've got online access to unlimited information about unusual sexual practices, injuries and experiences gone wrong. Depends on how deep you want to dive into this......but there's a lot out there if you need more material to make yourself feel better.

Also, I didn't know asexuals bemoaned their asexuality. Sucks to have a sexual preference that doesnt align with what you want to be.

Would you rather be the guy getting operated on?

The last time I saw this in the ER as a medical student I had to teach the fireman how to cut with the diamond dremel correctly. I never really expected my metalworking and blacksmithing hobby to be particularly useful in emergency medicine.

It did take 3 hours to get the damn thing off because we had to make 2 cuts to get it open.

I wear a tungsten ring, which is nigh indestructible. Once I got stung by a wasp between my fingers. I instinctively took the ring off immediately. A few seconds later my fingers swelled like crazy. I think I might've lost the finger if I didn't take the ring off in time.

Until you accidentally smash it with a hammer

Have you tried asking first?

And other titanium alloys used in tooling or knives can be harder than W2 tool steel. IIRC nickel is a common metal it's alloyed with and nickel is a bitch.

Tungsten actually isn't too much of a problem. While it's hard to cut, it's easy to break.
